To be fair Pleb is a contraction of Plebites who were the common citizens of Rome. At worst he's called them Common Romans.

Whilst it is a roman word, it has for years been used as an insult, just the same as a scally, scroat etc.

It was a word used by the privileged classes about the people from the lower social classes. So hardly a compliment.

The point still stands there is no harm in being civil when making your point. It's just common courtesy.

In the end when a thread breaks down into trading insults, the point is lost. And it become a keyboard warrior attempt to try and get as far as they can before the filter, mods or others have to get involved.

I'd rather just remind people that you can debate without insults, regardless of the level permitted.

That's what wading through plebs does to you unfortunately.

...and of course you'dve preferred it at the time if we'd let him go to Warrington and kept Smith instead? This board wouldn't have melted with bile from the agenda'ed "ambition" brigade then and would have been full of "great move Saints" posts instead wouldn't it? ****ing unbelievable...

Anything is a downgrade on Scully. TP and Wilkin have been about as good at filling the role (some of their terrible injuries aside, particularly Wilkin's) as we could have found under the circumstances.

We've done the "who realistically could/should we have signed to replace Talau at the time worth the money" thing many, many, many, many times before. Noone has ever yet come up with a name we could and should have signed at the time that would have been as good as just moving Gilmour out there. Noone. Feel free to make your own suggestions though and we'll go 'round the whole sorry roundabout again shall we?

Nobody's saying our signings have all been fantastic or the right moves. All that is at question is our supposed "ambition" and desire to compete. In the last 3 years we've signed 2 Aussie international forwards, a world-cup winning fullback, GB's first-choice centre, resigned Robes, TP and Sia despite big offers from elsewhere, offered as much money as a rich RU club to keep Eastmond etc. etc. etc. There is no lack of "ambition" there whether numpties like it or not. You can question the wiseness and common sense of some of the decisions (Hohaia was a brainfart from the very start) - you can't question the "ambition".

Your a total idiot and a laughing stock on most of the boards but I find you funny.


Why don't you call me a pleb to my face? Saints next home game will be nice for you to do it. Name your time and place and I'll see you there. If I was you, I'd meet after the game or you'll not be able to see it.

And so another thread is ended.

I hate it when I end up having to do this.
